We begin to discuss in detail the 70 week prophecy found in the last 4 verses of chapter 9.  If you thought the 2300-day prophecy back in chapter 8 was phenomenal just wait until we’ve fully discussed this one … It indeed holds some grand truths pertaining to Israel.  I originally thought we could get through everything in one episode, but that proved to be too lofty a goal so our discussions will need to encompass two episodes before we conclude this chapter.
